TAKE, for EXAMPLE, the AFRICAN jungle, the home of the cheetah. On whom does the cheetah prey? The OLD, the sick, the wounded, the weak, the very young, but never the strong. Lesson: If you WOULD not be prey, you had better be strong.

My mother had me when she was 15. My FATHER DIED before I was BORN. So my mother was a teenage WIDOW, and she used herself as her greatest example so I wouldn't end up in her POSITION.

If you must HOLD yourself up to your CHILDREN as an object lesson, hold yourself up as a warning and not as an EXAMPLE.

Dusting is a good example of the FUTILITY of trying to PUT things RIGHT. As soon as you dust, the FACT of your next dusting has already been established.

The word 'good' has MANY meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of FIVE hundred yards, I should CALL him a good shot, but not NECESSARILY a good man.

To recruit staff, I TRAVELED all over the country talking with people who had been working on one or another aspect of the atomic-energy enterprise and people in radar work, for example, and UNDERWATER SOUND, telling them about the job, the place that we are GOING to, and enlisting their ENTHUSIASM.

Write your goals down in detail and read your list of goals every day. Some goals may entail a list of shorter goals. Losing a lot of weight, for example, should include mini-goals, such as 10-pound MILESTONES. This will KEEP your subconscious MIND focused on what you WANT step by step.

The future path of the federal funds rate is necessarily UNCERTAIN because economic activity and inflation will LIKELY EVOLVE in UNEXPECTED ways. For example, no one can be certain about the PACE at which economic headwinds will fade. More generally, the economy will inevitably be buffeted by shocks that cannot be foreseen.

When you THINK about the complexity of our NATURAL WORLD - plants using quantum MECHANICS for photosynthesis, for EXAMPLE - a smartphone begins to look like a pretty dumb object.

I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very BEGINNING of their LIVES are loved and NURTURED by people AROUND them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about QUIET strength and dignity.

Don't judge other people. For EXAMPLE, if you want GOD's anointing to be on you for parenting, you NEED to be CAREFUL not to criticize other parents.

My father, Philip Fisher, was the toughest GUY I EVER knew. An example: He had terrible teeth, yet he GOT his fillings DONE without ever using a painkiller. Now, that's tough!

Jesus walking on water is an allegory, not fluid mechanics. God destroying the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah is a WARNING, not a historical battle. Doubting Thomas is an EXAMPLE, not a person. The STORY of Noah, with all of its SCIENTIFIC and historical impossibilities, can be read the same way.

My mother was the GREATEST example to me of anyone I've EVER known. She didn't have an EASY life. I adored her. She worked hard all her life, and she was the one who set my VALUES. She was QUITE an amazing woman, although she wasn't tough at all.
